1000 Flowers for the Planet - #72 Use Plastic-Free Tape


1000 Flowers for the Planet - #72 Use Plastic-Free Tape

It’s probably not something you think about as being plastic, but that’s what your sticky tape is made from. We use it willy-nilly without considering that it ends up in landfill, or waterways, where it will clog up the system, kill marine and bird life and take 1000 years to break down.
There is an alternative and it is made from paper. It has a gum on one side that is activated with water – use a sponge to wipe over the surface and you’re ready to stick. A second alternative that is plastic free is made from cellulose. I found these products at www.lifewithoutplastic.com but you can search the internet for your own supplier.
